gregorum,

much sad, lots good memories

very RIP

gregorum,

pretty, but projection holography is still just smoke & mirrors (literally).

gregorum,

i’m not sure that i agree with this at all. Microsoft, itself, has been having issues lately, and i don’t think this is a Bing vs Google search thing. But i believe those issues are temporary.

Overall, the direction that Google is taking with its search engine is probably a bigger threat to Google, considering, i suspect, people really aren’t going to like it.

gregorum,

Once we threw it in Boston Harbor, gone were the shackles of our steeped-leaf oppression!

Ours is a nation of coffee, tobacco, and weed!

gregorum,

This episode is getting a sequel in the next season

gregorum,

Yes, that’s black mirror

gregorum,

I think that’s just the button to dismiss the message, not a chat bubble

gregorum,

He then went on every cable news show to both cry victim and then repeatedly confess to his criminal acts.

gregorum,

Early seasons of TNG could be so painfully 80s sometimes, lol

gregorum,

American gladiators started in 1989

gregorum,

Some moved their money. Then they got caught. Kinda silly how you’re ignoring that part.

gregorum,

That’s not a dogwhistle. That’s a dogsiren.

After the only hospital in town closed, a North Carolina city directs its ire at politicians (apnews.com)

Weeds have punctured through the vacant parking lot of Martin General Hospital’s emergency room. A makeshift blue tarp covering the hospital’s sign is worn down from flapping in the wind. The hospital doors are locked, many in this county of 22,000 fear permanently....

gregorum,

No hospital should be run for profit, period.

gregorum,

Lol, Kirk Cameron doesn’t believe in science!

gregorum,

I dunno… it’s very popular here. The major issue to consider is the also very popular medical racket to get access to the medical stuff.

You have to pay a doctor for a prescription (which is basically some performative bullshit so they get to charge a fee), then you have to pay the state a fee. But you can only have a prescription for 7 months before you have to renew, yet you have to renew your state registration every year— each for a separate fee.

gregorum,

Ugh, title gore. Shame on the editor for letting that alliterative train wreck go to press.

A-C-A-A-C-C-A-A-S

Ugh…

gregorum,

The only ones dumb enough to fall for this bullshit are the ones who absolutely will, and are not gonna be swayed by any articles, no matter how well written or well reasoned.

gregorum,

He went full Mirror Sisko for a few episodes at the end on S04, but balanced it out by shaving his head for S05.

gregorum,

it also teaches their kid that selfish motivations and material rewards are the only things of value, and that they’re worth liying, cheating, and even stealing for-- as long as you don’t get caught, because right and wrong are only a matter of the consequences one may personally face. and, even then, it’s a cost-benefit analysis. again, the zero-sum game.

gregorum,

I’m willing to bet that insects have far better morals.

gregorum,

Frankly, babies are delicious with either. Since you’re using them as dipping sauces, why not get both?

gregorum,

who claim good told them

Was this a typo?

gregorum,

don’t be obtuse

It’s an expected outcome, but that doesn’t make it right.

i didn’t say that

I’m really not sure what the appropriate reaction should be.

not to be surprised that it happened, for one. and, while universities do generally, have an atmosphere which support free expression, and many even have somewhat permissive protest policies, they’re private property. now, i’m not defending the actions of the universities, but i’m saying that getting arrested for protesting on private property vs while protesting on public property are two different things-- and one isn’t nearly as outrageous as the other.

part of civil disobedience is getting arrested.

gregorum,

If you think insults are charity, it would appear that you’re the one who is confused.

gregorum,

Since you haven’t proven any of those accusation, this seems just another obvious insult and your inability to use the word “charity” correctly.

If you get this uncontrollably nasty just because an internet stranger said something that made you mad, perhaps it’s time to go outside for a break. Perhaps enjoy some nice herbal tea.

Best of luck with your emotional and vocabulary issues.

gregorum,

Perhaps you shouldn’t keep making assumptions. That doesn’t seem to be working out for you.

gregorum,

I try to assume the best of people

All evidence to the contrary

And my assumption was that you were wrong

Your first mistake, but, unlike you, I don’t get all nasty when people make those. Also, you haven’t really proven that I was wrong, either.

You are right, it hasn’t been the best guess i could have made.

Nor was devolving into juvenile insults based off of hurt feelings.

Best of luck!

gregorum,

I’m not under any obligation to you, lol. YOU are, on the other hand, under an obligation to remain civil and obey the rules here.

And if imagining me being upset satisfies some sadistic urge for you, go ahead. I think it’s silly, but whatever.

Good luck on being a better person!

gregorum,

Your lack of self-awareness is not my responsibility to resolve.

I suggest that you take your own advice regarding your own ignorance.

gregorum, (edited )

That’s one way to look at it. Another is that, rather than truly outrageously throwing the book at these protesters, the worst they got was a massive inconvenience.

Now, I’m not trying to downplay getting arrested - even brutally so. I have been arrested at protests by some nasty pigs who beat the shit out of me, and I have spend nights in jail as a result. I know how bad that shit sucks.

What I’m saying is that it’s what they signed up for. And if they want to protest police brutality, go do that, too, but don’t act all shocked that this happened.

Edit: in an ideal world, protesters would be treated with dignity and respect— but if we lived in an ideal world, there would be no need to protest.

gregorum,

Me too

gregorum,

Probably one of the most famous comedy bits of all time. I’m always delighted when I see some variation of it pop up in tv shows and movies, although not all are well-executed.
